When Yan Lang woke up again, it was noon the next day. His eyes were clear and his mind was sharp, as if he had been fully revived!
But how did he get to the hospital?
And... Holy crap! Where's Brother Xu?!
Yan Lang hurriedly got out of bed and stumbled out of the hospital corridor, shouting, "Nurse! Doctor! Where's my brother Xu?!"
"What are you shouting for! Don't you know that loud noises are not allowed in the hospital!" A nurse immediately came out to stop him.
"Miss Nurse, where's my brother Xu? Xu Qian, the super handsome one!"
The nurse glanced at him casually, pointed to the ward across the room, and said, "They're in there. Don't shout."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention! Sorry to bother you—" While apologizing, Yan Lang opened the door to the opposite ward. His 'adorable' Brother Xu was lying on the hospital bed, leisurely reading a novel called "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".
"Brother Xu! My dear brother! Did that female ghost hurt you? Let me check quickly—"
"Stop, stop, stop—" Xu Qian put down his novel and made a stop gesture. "Didn't you hear what they said? We didn't encounter any ghosts, we just drank the wrong thing and it caused hallucinations."
"...Eh!" Yan Lang, of course, hadn't heard of it!
"It was a problem with that bottle of water, but it's been resolved. However," Xu Qian changed the subject, "our music video project has been scrapped, and Ms. Fan has decided not to debut."
"What?!" Yan Lang looked like he'd been struck by lightning. This was even more unsettling than encountering a female ghost. What on earth was going on?!
Xu Qian continued, "However, Guangyi gave us an endorsement deal, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise."
"What endorsement?" Yan Lang's brain quickly scanned all the information about Guangyi. Speaking of which, Guangyi has quite a lot of products, including many top-tier ones. Although the possibility is not high, it won't hurt him to think about it.
Xu Qian didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "They're sports headphones."
"Hey, that's not bad." This is better than Yan Lang had expected. In the field of electronics, Guangyi can be considered a top-tier company.
"You've slept well, haven't you?" Xu Qian asked, looking at him.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Alright, we should go now."
Where to?
"Go home, where else can I go?" Xu Qian smiled helplessly, lifted the covers, and got out of bed.
"Oh, oh." Yan Lang was dumbfounded; it was time to go home.
Micro-city center.
Xu Qian got out of the car and watched Yan Lang drive away before turning around and going to the gym on the second floor.
In the gym, Meng Ziqiu was about to teach the new students when several exclamations suddenly rang out, causing him to look up and see that it was Xu Qian.
"What are you doing here? Weren't you filming?"
"I just stopped by. You go ahead and do what you need to do, I'll wait for you over there." Xu Qian took off his sunglasses and pointed to the small sofa on his right. He wouldn't openly say that his apartment had a power outage and he came over to use the Wi-Fi and air conditioning...
"Okay, wait for me for twenty minutes." Meng Ziqiu turned to his new client, only to find the young woman's eyes glued to Xu Qian, completely unmoved. He couldn't help but chuckle, thinking how many clients Xu Qian would bring in if he really spent a few days at the gym…
However, that was just a thought; he didn't want his gym to be buried by fans.
Xu Qian had just sat down on the small sofa when a receptionist brought him chilled mint water. He had been here a few times before, and everyone knew he liked mint water.
"Thank you." Xu Qian offered a near-perfect smile.
The young lady smiled sweetly.
And so, Xu Qian sat on the soft little sofa, enjoying the 22°C air conditioning, and happily played games.
Sheng Huai was also in the same group as him. He was also off today. It was rare for the two of them to have a day off together, but it was mainly because Sheng Huai was too busy.
While the match was being made, Xu Qian glanced at the bounty list. One bounty was in the capital and hadn't moved for several days; his second seven-day period was almost over. The other was still waiting at the airport; the other's destination was Ulan.
He currently only has enough gold to offer bounties for two people; any more would require him to invest more money to redeem it, which he's a little reluctant to do.
Looking back now, Xu Qian realized he had been a bit impulsive. That incident had nothing to do with him, so why couldn't he control his curiosity?
However, since the deed was already done, the money couldn't be given away for nothing. The other party's destination was Ulan, so he didn't need to take a plane. He could handle it with a teleportation device. Therefore, Xu Qian decided to wait until the other party's plane landed before following them.
“It’s in, it’s in—” Sheng Huai said from the other end of the earpiece.
Xu Qian then turned his attention to the game.
"Wait a minute, I remember you were supposed to be filming some kind of music video, so why are you on leave?" Sheng Huai suddenly asked.
Xu Qian repeated Guangyi's words to Sheng Huai, but unexpectedly, the other party let out a soft "Eh!"
"Are you talking about Fannie, the newcomer?"
Xu Qian was taken aback. Judging from Sheng Huai's tone, it seemed he knew her. "You know her?"
Sheng Huai chuckled and then said, "Holy crap! Of course I know her, she's the one who cheated on me!!!"
“…Ahem,” Xu Qian picked up his water glass and took a sip, “What a coincidence.”
"Ugh, this is just unbelievable..."
Xu Qian's eyes darted around, then he asked Sheng Huai across from him, "But how did you two meet?"
"The recording studio, the company asked me to go there to rehearse my lines, and that's how we met. Oh, Zuo Yan was there too, it was the drama you filmed before. We came out one after the other, looking back now it's really a twist of fate!"
Xu Qian thought to himself, "Isn't that a tragic fate? But this also explains why Sheng Huai's medicine packet lost its smell. Oh right, could Zuo Yan's son also be hospitalized because of this?"
"By the way, was his son there that day?" Xu Qian asked him.
"His son? I don't think so, I haven't noticed."
"Okay." Xu Qian thought for a moment and decided to ask a friend after finishing this game, for example, which hospital Zuo Yan's son was staying in.
Meanwhile, Qin You at school is still undergoing military training, but there are only two days left before the training ends.
Ah, these have been agonizing fourteen days.
However, the sun was shining brightly today, and the sports field of Weicheng University was still packed with people.
For the last two days, all classes were undergoing final intensive training, especially in marching formations.
Lu Yan and her three girlfriends leaned against the railing in front of the stands. Although it was a little hot to the touch, who cared about the heat when faced with such beauty?
Among a crowd of people dressed in dark camouflage, that fair-skinned young man still stood out. Not only was his face handsome, but his hands were also beautiful, his shoulders were even more so, and his back was ramrod straight...
"Sigh, don't you guys think the title of 'top student' is a bit too plain?" Lu Yan said, sounding a little sad.
“Our school hasn’t had a school heartthrob pageant in years. The last few times it was a complete mess, but this level… I think it’s acceptable,” Ruan Shiran said.
"Sigh, let's forget about it. I don't want people to know about this little sprout so soon, and those people are just... well..." Lu Yan shook her head with a grin. "This little brother is quite nice, with a good temper and an honest personality. Wouldn't it be better to observe him a little longer before the seedling grows up?"
Su Lingyu nodded in agreement. He was indeed a good person, very polite and gentlemanly. Listing all his good points, he really had quite a few. Ah, thinking about it made her heart flutter again!
"Hey, look at this—" Ruan Shiran seemed to have seen something and quickly called out to the three of them.
"What what?"
Wow!
It was their school's WeChat official account that updated. This time, the update was about good deeds, and the photo on it was of Qin You, the honest student they had just been talking about!
Those striking eyebrows and sharp eyes, that jade-like face, that innate nobility—she stands out from a crowd of headshots in an instant!
"Ahhh, I can do it again!"
"Is this child some kind of angel?!"
"I have a feeling that our treasure is about to be discovered by others..."
...
Xu Qian had just gotten his phone back after military training when he opened WeChat and found dozens of friend requests, all from strangers. After thinking for a moment, he set all his WeChat friend requests to be unacceptable.
Oh, it's besides business cards and group chats.
Fang Zhe quickly found out about this, and he looked at him with a disappointed expression, "No way, my god, you're wasting so many resources!"
The word 'resource' made Qin You somewhat unhappy. "What's the point of adding that? People aren't commodities. Just because they want to add it, does that mean I have to approve it?"
Fang Zhe didn't expect such a strong reaction and didn't know what to say for a moment. He muttered, "No, do you have to be so pretentious? I was just joking."
"I'm going upstairs to play games." Qin You ignored him. It was just a difference in opinion, nothing to talk about. He dried his hair until it was half dry and climbed into bed.
"Hey, hey," Fang Zhe reached out and tugged at the hem of Qin You's T-shirt. Seeing Qin You turn around, he gave him a smile and said, "Can you play games with me?"
"Are you sure your hand can handle this?" Qin You asked, glancing at his injured arm.
“…Oh, right.” Fang Zhe then realized the crux of the problem. “Then you can’t be angry. I was just joking.”
Qin You continued climbing the ladder, turning the back of his head towards Fang Zhe behind him, "I'm not angry, and there's nothing to be angry about."
“Okay…” Fang Zhe pursed his lips and climbed back to his upper bunk. But when he turned his back and looked down, he saw Ren Wei sitting below him, looking at him with a sarcastic smile. In the instant that one looked up and the other looked down, their eyes met.
Ren Wei's smile froze, and he quickly composed himself, pretending nothing had happened. Fang Zhe felt bored, but he didn't argue with him. Instead, he lay flat on the bed, staring blankly at the yellowed ceiling above him.
"Buzz—"
At that moment, he received a new WeChat message from Qin You.
Qin You:
Wait until your hand is healed before playing.
Fang Zhe suddenly laughed.
...
Meanwhile, a new trending topic appeared on Weibo.
#Jiangqun taking the subway#
#Jiang Qun Meets Stalker Fans#
The day before, the trending topic was a photo taken three months ago. The photo showed Jiang Qun chatting and laughing with a strange boy in a corner of the subway. Jiang Qun's eyes in the photo were curved, a crescent shape that only appears when someone is genuinely smiling.
Although Jiang Qun was wearing a mask and hat in the video, he was still recognized by some fans. As for the handsome but unfamiliar boy next to him, he was also recognized by a large and amazing number of netizens – isn't he the basketball heartthrob who went viral on Xing Video a while ago?!
The second trending topic was Jiang Qun's variety show that aired today. In the show, Jiang Qun recounted his experiences with several obsessive fans, including the time he ran away from home. However, he changed the story of meeting a kind person on the way to meeting a good friend, and even talked about how they took the subway home.
The show sparked considerable discussion upon its broadcast. Besides the reasons for Jiang Qun's "aversion to school," which involved school violence, another issue included the most dreaded factor for celebrities—sasaeng fans (obsessive fans who stalk celebrities).
